This Biker Could Be You |
Toward getting more people (especially women) to think about riding a bike to get around their towns and cities...(Curated by Andrea Learned) |
“I just turned 60 and have no plans to retire to the suburbs. I love it here. For me, and lots of other people, the answer to the question “What would improve the quality of our urban life?” involves simple things like … um … bicycles, which make getting around — and being in — the city easier, more pleasant and more affordable. New York is one of many cities that are creating all kinds of new green spaces, riverside parks and bike programs, all of which are symptomatic of our desire to make our cities into our homes.”
This is exactly how I feel and a lot of what I see on my daily rides (since a lot of, if not all the footage, was taken in Seattle). Go urban bicyclists!
Bike Butterfly Invention: Memorable way to let drivers and pedestrians know they ALMOST ran into you. I see the beauty of it.
Yet another Seattle city-biking fan (taken by @CivitaVeritas )! This bike actually has handlebars on both ends, and was on display at an art/architecture opening.
